EH Bildu, ERC and BNG have called for a break with the monarchy, which is "the heritage of Francoism", in order to achieve "true democracy"
The maintenance of the structure emanating from Francoism shows that, according to these parties, "there will be no real democracy as long as the leadership of the State is not elected by the people and the right to decide in Catalan, Basque and Galician nations is denied".
ERC, EH Bildu and BNG issued a joint statement on Thursday calling for a break with the monarchy as an anachronistic establishment inherited from Francoism that does not respond to the republican values of freedom, equality and democracy.
The three pro-independence, sovereign and Republican political forces have stressed that the monarchy was not born of the will of the people, nor of the free and democratic exercise of the citizens, but of a decision imposed 50 years ago by the dictator Francisco Franco, who appointed Juan Carlos de Borbón as his successor "as king".
They say it was a designation "without consultation or democratic legitimacy", and it was the recoveryofan "anachronistic, hereditary and vital" organization, "incompatible with fundamental democratic principles."
In his view, it has since been a fundamental pillar for the continuity of the power structures of the Franco regime and a mechanism for protecting the unity of the State against the national and social rights of Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia.
Five decades later, the maintenance of the structure inherited from Francoism has shown that "there will be no real democracy as long as the leadership of the state is not elected by the people and the right to decide in Catalan, Basque and Galician nations is denied".
"It is only by breaking the legacy and monarchical institution of Francoism that progress can be made towards a true future of freedom and democracy," they have defended.
And in the face of official actions which seek to "justifythe past and legitimize an anachronistic institution in the present, "they reaffirm the will to build free, democratic, and just republics, whose sovereignty really rests with the citizens.
"Fifty years after the Franco courts proclaimed Juan Carlos de Borbón king, we reaffirm our commitment to the freedom of our nations, to the peoples who make up the State and to democracy as a whole," the statement states.
